According to a recent announcement from Tether, USDT will soon also be available on Aptos (APT), a high-speed Ethereum rival blockchain built for scalability.

Aptos utilizes a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, and its blockchain processes transactions in parallel, aiming to enhance efficiency and speed.

According to the announcement, USDT gas fees on Aptos will cost less than a penny.
